Grabbitz Gives An Aspiring Musician The Ultimate Gift

Nick Chiari is one talented dude, though you’ll recognize him better from his electronic alias Grabbitz and his work with deadmau5 on the chilling collaboration “Let Go”.

Through a mutual friend, Chiari discovered an autistic musician that, despite his disability, has harbored an incredible love for music that’s beyond description. Mitchell is a 15-year middle school student, and though his hearing and vision is impaired, he’s a first chair bassist in his county’s orchestra. Because of the instrument’s low register and vibrations, Mitchell has become enamored with music, playing around five hours a day.

Grabbitz felt compelled to have Mitchell visit his studio and work on some tunes together. The resulting video is heartwarming, to say the least. Have a look below thanks to CBS’ Hidden Heroes.
